    Bruschetta.
    Tabitha S.

    Santo Antonio is a cozy and intimate lunch/dinner spot located in a hidden away square in the Alfama district. It came highly recommended, so I made sure to come here. I managed to eat dinner here my last night in Lisbon and I wasn't disappointed. I would say it's a mid-priced restaurant and the food leans more towards Mediterranean than Portuguese. I ordered the spaghetti with prawns, which was amazing. The restaurant did not skimp on the prawns, which came in a light sauce. I also ordered the bruschetta as an appetizer. Although it was good, it was too much food for me considering the spaghetti dish alone was a large portion. My only gripe about the place was that there weren't many people when I was there yet my food took so long to arrive. São Miguel square can be a bit difficult to locate in the twisting turning streets of the Alfama, but I thought it was worth the effort of finding it for the good food and quiet atmosphere alone.

    Overpriced average food at best. We had mozzarella and tomatoes, and their tomatoes were not ripe and green on the sides.

Food: 5/5 Honestly, everything was amazing. I wish American vegan food tasted this good (less salty & sweet). We started with their verison of onigiri and a fig salad. I really loved the soft and crunchy texture of the onigiri with a juicy marinated watermelon center. For entree, we got the couscous with Okra dish. If you don't like Okra this dish is not for you. But, it was light and flavorful (slightly sour). For dessert, we got a sampler since we could not decide. Clearly, my favorite was the chocolate lava cake but they were all so tasty! My partner got some green vine and I got green tea. You get a whole pot of tea - great value!! Service & Ambiance: 5/5 The decor was so cozy inside and the staff were amazing! I know little to know Portuguese but, they were super nice! All in all, I would definitely go back and all for ~51€!

I was intrigued by the presence of a vegan restaurant in Lisbon, but it seems like vegan and vegetarian restaurants are plentiful here. The menu is just as tiny as the restaurant. There are 2 main dishes and a few desserts and starters. I ordered the daily dish, which was called Brunch. It included vegan cheese on toast, vegan sausages, a slice of sun-dried tomato, roasted beets on top of potatoes, and oats with strawberries and bananas. Elements of the dish were both a hit and a miss. As a non-vegan, the individual components were very good attempts at replicating the real thing. First, the cheese had the right texture. It had a very light and subtle flavor that I enjoyed. The vegan sausages were too dry on the inside. The beets and potatoes were particularly good, but I'm a bit biased as I enjoy beets in general. The oats in soy milk was tasty. There was a subtle sweetness to it. Overall, the food was good and a good value for €13.

We got the vegetable curry twice, as well as a quinoa salad, a tofu scramble, a carob cake, and some juice. Out of all of these, the quinoa salad was my favorite. But even the warm curry was delicious on a hot day! The carob cake was a bit dry and crumbly tasting, though -- I think I can bake a better one myself. There was quite a rush for the cheesecake, so I wonder if that would have been better? Sadly they were sold out once we wanted dessert. Service was a bit slow and they don't open before noon, but that's fine when you are on vacation :) As others have mentioned, the space is small, so going here with a large group is probably not advisable. I liked that their food menu was hand-written. It sounds like they just make up the menu as they go, and include whatever dishes they can make with the produce they have available that day. Overall, I very much enjoyed eating here -- it was nice to just get some good old vegetables among all the meat offerings of Portugal!

We had no reservation, so we felt thankful to get the last table outside. All of the other customers were local people, which suggests that this restaurant is a high quality. To this review I attached photos of the menu in September 2025. Here are my reviews for what we ate: Pastel de Bacalhau - 3.5 stars - These are codfish pies, and they tasted alright. Melao corn presunto - 5 stars - The menu said that this appetizer was melon and parma. My husband said that it was "good," and I also liked it. Legumes a bras - 5 stars - The menu described this vegetarian main course as shredded vegetables with eggs, onions, and potatoes. I really enjoyed every bite! Vinho verde - 4 stars - This green wine was not my favorite but was good. Ice tea mango - 5 stars - My husband drank this non-alcoholic drink, and he liked it. Ginjinha - 5 stars - We LOVED this cherry liquor! The total price including tax was 41 euros, which I thought was reasonable.
